Most people visit a psychologist to escape their worst nightmares, but one exhausted patient was willing to suffer through his for just one more night.
A man rushed into a therapist’s office looking completely sleep-deprived. “Doctor, you have to help me,” he begged. “For the past month, I’ve been trapped in the exact same bizarre, recurring dream every single night, and it’s driving me completely insane!”
The psychologist leaned forward. “Calm down, my friend. What exactly happens in these dreams?”
“It’s a massive, high-stakes football tournament,” the man explained, wiping sweat from his forehead. “Exactly like the World Cup. But the twist is… every single player on the pitch is a donkey! The strikers, the midfielders, the goalkeepers—all donkeys! I can’t get it out of my head.”
The doctor smiled, thoroughly amused. He pulled out his prescription pad and handed the man a small bottle. “Don’t worry, this is an easy fix. Take two of these pills right before bed tonight. It will block the dreams instantly, and you’ll sleep like a baby.”
The man sighed with immense relief, thanked the doctor, and headed for the exit. But just as his hand touched the doorknob, he froze, turned around, and looked nervously at the therapist.
“Doctor… would it be okay if I started taking this medication tomorrow night instead?”
The psychologist frowned, genuinely puzzled. “Why wait? If it’s driving you so crazy, why not start tonight?”
The man shuffled his feet, looked down at the floor, and whispered:
“Well… tonight is the grand final!”
